Medical Emergencies Response Guide

Call UD Police and advise the dispatcher of your location and the nature of the victim's illness or injury.

Unless trained, do not attempt to render any first aid before medical assistance arrives. Depending on the circumstances, the dispatcher may provide you with basic medical instructions from a predetermined protocol.

Do not attempt to move a victim of an auto accident or other trauma such as a fall.

Comfort the victim and assure them help is on the way.

Don't allow yourself to be exposed to chemicals, electric shock, fire, blood, or other body fluids. Wear protective equipment or wait for professional assistance.

Remain after help arrives to provide needed information.

If you suspect that you have been exposed to infectious disease in any form while assisting the victim, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
